Trent Alexander-Arnold's future at Liverpool has been the subject of much speculation lately. Rumors have been swirling that Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich is being considered as a potential replacement for the talented full-back, whose contract with the Reds is set to expire in just six months. While Real Madrid has long been thought to be the most likely destination for Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool has made it clear that they have no intention of selling one of their key players during the middle of the Premier League season.
However, with the uncertainty surrounding Alexander-Arnold's future, Liverpool is starting to think about potential replacements in case he does choose to leave Anfield at the end of the season. According to reports from Bild, one name being considered is Bayern's Kimmich, who, like Alexander-Arnold, also has just six months left on his contract with his current club.
Negotiations between Bayern and Kimmich for a new contract have been ongoing, but so far, no agreement has been reached. Kimmich himself has stated that he plans to make a decision in January, and Liverpool is likely keeping a close eye on the situation as they weigh their options.
Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold has not provided any updates on his future with Liverpool. However, his recent performance against Manchester United has sparked some criticism and speculation. Despite this, Liverpool manager Arne Slot has stated that the rumors surrounding Alexander-Arnold's future are not affecting his dedication to the team.
"I see him on the training ground every day, working hard and giving his all for the team," Slot said. "He is fully committed to us. If the constant talk about him possibly leaving Liverpool were to destabilize him, then we would have a real problem. But our players are used to being in the spotlight and facing transfer rumors, and it has never affected their performance."
Liverpool will continue to monitor the situation and prepare for any potential changes in their full-back position, but for now, both Alexander-Arnold and Kimmich remain valuable members of their respective clubs. Only time will tell what the future holds for these talented players.
